KEEP YOUR AMEN ALIVE

“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” 2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV)
The challenge with most believers is that their Amen does not come from the heart. There will be no manifestation until your Amen agrees with God’s Amen. For all the promises of God in Christ Jesus are yea and Amen. We see God’s glory when we agree and say Amen by us. There will be no glory until you say Amen, which comes from your heart.
Every moment you receive the word, you must say Amen. You may not fully understand it, but receive it as it registers in your spirit. The enemy will come into the arena of the flesh to bombard you and make you think it will never happen. But keep your Amen alive!
In the book of Mark chapter 9, a man came to Jesus as He descended from the mount of transfiguration and said, my son is grievously tormented of a spirit. Jesus replied, if you can believe, all things are possible. In other words, if you can say Amen, all things are possible to him that believes. The man said I believe. But in case I don’t believe enough, please help my unbelief.
In the book of Mark 5, Jairus came to Jesus and said my daughter is sick and at the point of death; come and lay your hands upon my daughter, and she shall live. If she is dead, she will be alive.
And Jesus said Amen because His promises are always yea and Amen. As they were both going to the house of Jairus, some professional mourners met them on the way and told Jairus, don’t bother yourself any longer; your daughter is dead. And Jesus said to him, don’t be afraid, only believe. In other words, keep your Amen alive. Keep your belief intact. Fear not! Don’t panic! Keep on saying Amen. God has spoken! No matter what I feel outside, it does not matter; what God said will come to pass.
